Tagore theatre security to be beefed up by the UT administration

"In view of the security threat at public places, security at the renovated 850-capacity Tagore Theatre will soon be beefed up by the UT administration.

After their recent visit to the theatre, UT home secretary Ram Niwas and SSP SS Shrivastava has decided to install doorframe metal detectors at its entrance and six CCTV cameras at its different points. However, till these are put into place, police will scan people with the help of hand-held detectors. Besides, private security personnel will also be deployed for thwarting any untoward incident.

Meanwhile, in another related development, space has been identified for food court, which will be structured in keeping with the theatre's overall theme. Two types of bids -- technical and financial -- will be invited for the purpose. Attributing aesthetical value to it, Ram Niwas further said brand names could be roped in to establish a coffee shop or a restaurant.

Continuing with his directives, Niwas also urged the engineering department officials to install three water coolers, lighting arrangements and uninterrupted power supply and prepare their estimate within a week's time.
